    But only slightly

    The risk of death did rise by 18% to 108% for most people with BMI levels higher than 27.5, Visaria said, with risk rising as weight increased in a U-shaped curve.

    So this headline really should read:

    Being a little overweight may not be associated with early death (but being quite overweight, obese, or extremely obese is), study says.

    What an absolute nothingburger of a news story.
